Grizzlies Aim for Top-Ten Spot After Mid-Season Reset
The Memphis Grizzlies entered a dramatic reset midway through last season, first trading frontcourt pillar Jaren Jackson Jr. and then dealing former franchise cornerstone Ja Morant. Those moves cleared a sizable portion of the salary cap and forced the team into a new identity as it recalibrates for the upcoming campaign. The front office has framed the goal as a top-ten finish in a Western Conference that features elite leaders at the summit and a surprisingly soft middle tier.
